An agency that I use has contacted me about a potential contract. I've never spoken to this particular agent before and he sounds like a @&$%. He forgot what I told him on the phone last week, so I had to repeat it all. He keeps pushing me for references which I've refused to give right now and despite the fact I've told him what my minimum rate would be, he keeps saying 'about that'.
The contract itself however is quite interesting, but if he annoys the client as much as he has me, then he's going to harm my chances of getting it.
I want to say no to him, and go to another agent that I do like who has a good relationship with this client.
It's probably not the done thing, but I think I'm justified in these circumstances.
If anyone's done the same, would appreciate tips on how to handle it professionally.
